Smiley Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Can’t remember if I’ve posted already - but also on a cocktail of magnesium, omega 3, multi vitamin tablets. Plus drinking hot water with fresh lemon, half a tsp each of ground cinnamon and ginger. Apparently combats insulin spikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixing it up with a variety of exercise and weights. And consistently topping 3000 cals burnt per day. Are you breaking your fast with either pure protein (chicken breast) or a broth? Apparently that’s where many go wrong and break it with carbs or fat. Or combination of both. Break with a handful of blueberries then a salad with protein hummus and seeded thins as a snack protein shake / yoghurt evening meal then I’m supposed to have some yoghurt but I can’t usually manage it Calorie deficit been no issue but getting the amount of protein in that my PT wants is v hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently that’s meant to be the most effective time. Your body running on empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Faustus Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I did four hours in the gym on Friday, admittedly half of that was cleaning the equipment. Fuck me am I paying for it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasting approx 8:30pm-12:30pm Workouts are 7am-ish or 5:30pm in the week and when I can at the weekend. Im preferring them during the fast so far. Got 3 7:15 PT’s this week Ive had a lot of energy TBF but a few headaches. Broke my fast yesterday morning - think I went on autopilot without thinking as I was out of my routine and made beans on toast. Was back on it today and plan on doing it through the week again.

royal white Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Should we be forced into a full lock down what are folk planning on doing to keep fit.

I might have to dig out the old insanity DVDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still permitted in France, albeit with paperwork. If it does, I'll just carry on, but in my own garden. Plenty of wood to cut and it's a super work out.

But I might be off work for a while, I’ll start digging. Next door have a hot tub. Not tried it out but they don’t charge I just have to bring our Maude and put keys in a bowl for safe keeping. Nice really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 18, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 18, 2020 As a greenkeeper/groundsman, would a lock-down apply to folk keeping green spaces ready to go once the ban is lifted? I know that leaving a bowling green to lie for a few weeks would be guaranteed to have sycamores sprouting. Hardly essential work but sports grounds are fucked if they're left.

The bike is a godsend in the winter really as I can piss about doing stuff my tablet and the cycling part is an afterthought. Actually lose track of time.

Smiley Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I would highly recommend folk order the Fitbeast resistance bands off Amazon. Money well spent. I’m using daily in my lockdown situation. Skipping rope another essential. Might hire a hot tub when I get back home. If we go into lockdown - guessing they won’t be able to come and collect! Haha. No pool. Got a paddling pool. But nipper popped it last summer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
